One more vote for adium here too!
It replaces all your IMs, including Facebook chat too!
 
and you downloaded MSN 7 for mac? http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/messenger/default.mspx



For connection issues, I'm not sure what could cause it. Are you installing it properly?



to Install

Download MSN 7 for OS X

Double click the .dmg file once the download completes.

The file will mount to finder. Click 'Microsoft Messenger.app' and drag it to your "Applications" folder.

It should install itself, then you simply find it in the applications folder, double click it to launch the application.




-Launching from the .dmg may cause some programs not to function properly
 
I use aMSN since I have a Mac (I used aMSN on Linux and Windows too) and I love it!
